Questions about baseball cards [View all]

I have cards from the late 1980s-early 90s. I have been looking through opened wax packs. I got into a pack of 1990 Donruss, and was surprised at some of the values. As I read, I learned that the 1990 Donruss cards had a lot of errors. One of the main errors mentioned in card values is no "." after INC. Most of the cards in the 10 wax packs I have lack the dot.

i've just been doing a rough idea of value. The unopened wax packs from another year sold well in my booth, and I thought I'd go ahead and sell the opened packs. I didn't want to give away the farm, so I'm just doing a quick check in case any of the cards are more valuable. There are so many that are listed as error cards, I decided to put the 1990 Donruss aside until I know more about their value.

If anyone here collects baseball cards, do you think the missing dot really a big deal? After seeing so many error cards listed for sale, and other examples of the same card going for normal prices, I don't know what to think.

All of the cards are in great condition. Probably the person we bought them from opened the packs and looked through, and left the cards they didn't want in the wax packs. And then put them in shoeboxes. I am carefully handling them, and then putting them back in the wrap.

If anyone knows about baseball cards, I'd love to hear from you! Happy Wednesday.
